The differentially expressed genes (a) and the major pathways (b, c) in response to 56MESS treatment. Genes whose expression changed by 1.5-fold or more at p ≤ 0.05 under 56MESS treatment were identified as differentially expressed genes using ANOVA Partek® Genomic Suite™. Each dot in (a) represents one gene. Out of 5,841 genes, 48 up-regulated genes are shown in the yellow area and 45 down-regulated genes in the green area. The major pathways represented by the up- and down-regulated genes were revealed using GO Slim Mapper and shown in b and c, respectively. Pathways represented by a to n in (b) and I to X in (c) are listed in Table S2 in “Electronic supplementary material”
